Behind Katydata lies the Troodos mountain range, to its north the mine of Skouriotissa full of earthen mineral colours. I drive down a dirt road towards Skouriotissa and encounter United Nations sign-posts. I realise that I must have entered the dead zone by mistake. The view is magnificent, I can discern the river meandering down from the village to the Bay of Pentageia, on the left Vouni. Glorious view. I stay there and paint before turning around. The road leads to a dead end.
